"Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow." –C. S. Lewis

This understanding of God's foreknowledge has united the church for twenty centuries. But advocates of "open theism" are presenting a different vision of God and a different view of the future.

The rise of open theism within evangelicalism has raised a host of questions. Was classical theism decisively tainted by Greek philosophy? How should we understand passages that tell us that God repents? Are essentials of biblical Christianity–like the inerrancy of Scripture, the trustworthiness of God, and the Gospel of Christ–at stake in this debate? Where, when, and why should we draw new boundaries–and is open theism beyond them?

Beyond the Bounds brings together a respected team of scholars to examine the latest literature, address these questions, and give guidance to the church in this time of controversy. Contributors include: - John Piper - Wayne Grudem - Michael S. Horton - Bruce A. Ware - Mark R. Talbot - A. B. Caneday - Stephen J. Wellum - Justin Taylor - Paul Kjoss Helseth - Chad Brand - William C. Davis - Russell Fuller

"We have prepared this book to address the issue of boundaries and, we pray, bring some remedy to the present and impending pain of embracing open theism as a legitimate Christian vision of God... As a pastor, who longs to be biblical and God-centred and Christ-exalting and eternally helpful to my people, I see open theism as theologically ruinous, dishonouring to God, belittling to Christ, and pastorally hurtful. My prayer is that Christian leaders will come to see it this way, and thus love the church by counting open theism beyond the bounds of orthodox Christian teaching." –From the Foreword by John Piper
